Sunday 17th March, Sunday 7th April

Explore indigo vat dyeing and shibori resist techniques to create beautiful patterned textiles. Learn traditional methods of shibori resist dyeing - folding, clamping, scrunching, and stitching create repeat patterns. A practical guide to how to create, dye with, maintain, and dispose of an organic indigo dye vat. You can bring natural clothes or textiles to put in the dye vat. I will have some linen and organic cotton available. Come away with a dyed upcycled garment, or fabric to make in to something like a scarf, or cushion.

If you come on the Saturday, bring your dyed fabric back to over dye to create greens, purples, and browns.

Please bring a packed-lunch.Cost: £85, including a length of organic cotton. I am open to skill shares and exchanges.

If it is full up, I do sometimes have cancellations, so it is worth adding your name to the waiting list.

Gift Vouchers: Gift cards will be send out within a week. Let me know if you need an urgent delivery.

Fabric: 50 cm width of organic cotton, and two small practice pieces are included. You are welcome to bring you own natural fabrics to put in the vat. I will have extra cotton, linen, and silk available to purchase if you would to do more dyeing.
